In court, Toby and Oz' tactics are called into question after they contaminate a crime scene. While Toby is reading the thoughts of the people giving testimony, he finds out that the victim's sister may know who is responsible for her death. Toby also takes an interest in an old man he and Oz took to hospital after he was hit by a car. As he spends more time with this mysterious man, he is shocked to discover that he may hold the key to at least a part of his own mysterious past.
